1870 would not be notiCeabiy out of fash
ion, especially it she added her silver
belt with its many dangling ornaments.
There Is tendency toward individuality
of style, although there will always be
those VINO prefer to wear the latest fash
ions, be they hidcous or tasteful.
La colors, the yellow to be used this
fall is deep orange so vivid that 1t is
employed in small quantities. A black
velvet hat, for instance, lowe owned and
wide br!mmed, has as its single touch OF
color tiny bunch OF these orange
aigrettes. There ere half a dozen new
greens, none OF them pretty. Absinthe
and pale blue is going to be leading
combination. Red, now as always, Will
be dsringly, dashingly employed till heavy
frosts have killed off natures carnival
and checked the recklessress which
always, after the latitude OF summer
dressing, char&cteriZ9s autumn toilets.
Breakfast wrappers are very pretty
msde with the front reaching from the
neck to the foot OF the skirt, slightly fit
ted in to the figure at the waist, and ct
the back vatican fold 10 give more
fullress to the skirt. Close fitting coat
sleeves.
Ii a thick wrapper is desired, cashmere
is very servicesble material, snd may
| be lined with thin silk or silesia Of the
same or contrasting color. Cardinal,
blue ana heliotTope are pretty shades, snd
wear we'll
Velvet collar and cuffs finish the neck
and sleeves, and long ribbons two inches
wide arc used for tying together at the
neck.
The wrapper may be made open from
the neck to the foot, and buttoned ell the
way down with small fancy buttons, or it
can be Sewed nearly to the waist, and
buttoled from there to the neck only.
1t should be hemmed about so inch
deep round the bottom Of the skirt, no
braid being required.
